A Carnivorous Antelope.

A few months ago, while visiting a
friend on cattle ranch in the San An

abnormal habit. My friend had a young
antelope six or seven months old, which
he had captured when very young, and
kept as pet about the ranch. This
animal is, by the way, very tame, fol-

SECRETARY STANTON.
How Hc Scrutinlzed and Assorted tn o

How Hc Scrutinlzed and Assorted tn
Callers at the War Department.
In a recent number Of the Century is q
portrait Of Secretary Stanton, accom-
panied by some "reminiscences, from which
we quote as follows: although Mr..
Stanton was by nature an accessible man,
it was simply impossible for him to give
private audience to tithe of the persons
who daily inquired for him. Even Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress
often had difficulty in seeing him at the
times and in the manner they desired, and
frequently accepted spot-luck' with the
crowd in the public reception-room. Colonel
Hardie, a handsome Scotch-looking
officer, took charge of this room early in
the morning and, in the name and by au-
thority of the secretary, dispatched the
business OF such as neither needed nor
insisted upon the personal action OF the
secretary. He also sent in the names Of
such callers as he thought the secretary
would privately receive, and, from time
to time, went in himself to take the Sec
retary's commands upon some case of
special difficulty or Importance. AS nearly
as possible at eleven o'clock, the secre-
tary, who had an almost religious regard
tor this daily observance, came into the
room and took station at the little, high
desk near the bottom, Colonel Hardis or
Major Pelouze being in attendance to as
sist him. He waved everybody back who
approached him, until he had completed a
deliberate scrutiny of the company and
had received from the officer in attendance
a statement, in a low voice, of the excep-
ti0nally urgent or meritorious cases. Then,
one after another, he indicated those
whom he wished to draw near, beginning
with the soldiers, and, after them, call
ing up the plainly dressed women, who
looked as if they might be soldiers kim
folk. If he happened to notice that a SOL
dier had crutches or was weak from i'll
ness, he would leave the desk and go to
him where he was seated. Officers bear
ing visible tokens of wounds or disability
were also preferred suitors, but with 9TH
cr gentlemen of the shouder-stran he was
usually curt. Civilians he treated accord
ingly as his humor was affected by their
manner, but there was always general
observance of the underlying principle
that this public reception was for those
who had no other means of access to him.
1t was here that Mr.. Stanton might
usually be seen at his best.
If case Of unusual gal
lantry, merit or suffering were stated, he
would comment upon 1t aloud to the COM
pany, ending with a moral, inviting to
patriotism, virtue or fortitude. On the
other hand, if he found woman suppliant
embarrassed by the publicity of state
ment and action, he would draw her be-
yond the desk to the wind ow-recess and
hear her there, or send her to his room to
be heard more leisurely or privately.
Some Of US used to think, while watchin &
the secretary at these receptions, that a
great power had been lost to the pulpit
when he became lawyer; for he was an
admirable preacher and far from averse
to sermonizing"

Troublesome Fractions,

During the reconstruction period which
followed the war, farmer and negro
appeared before the bureau officer of a
South Carolina district, asking him to set

peared that the farmer offered to allow his
negro tenant one-third of the crop, while
the latter stood out for one sixth! 1t was
only by the aid of six bits of paper, added
and subtracted upon table, that the Cap
tain succeeded in shaking the faith of the
darky in his calculations. "Well, boss,''
he answered, doubtfully, ''ef you say one

Why do love you, sweetheart miner
In sooth, can not say.
Love came to me so stealthily
I never saw his way.
His gentle footsteps scarcely pressed
The pathway to my heart;
Ionly saw him standing there,
And knew he'd ne'er depart.
How can tell what brought him, when
know not how he came?
only knew, and bowed before
The magic Of his name.
So many are more beautiful
All, well, perchance it's true.
So many are much better, dear?

A Wanderers Return.

In the fall of 1862, wnen the war
feeling ran high and recruits were not
hard to get, Clayton H. Page, then q
bright young fellow, living at Mount
Holly, N. j., evinced q desire to en-
list, but received no encouragement
from his friends. This did not deter
him, however, and he finally decided
to link his fortunes with Company H.
in the 3Oth New Jersey Volunteers.
Between that time aud the following
Spring he received some injury that
disabled him for the time being. and
he was obliged to take refuge in the
the General Hospital in Washington,
D. c. He remSined in that institution
until the 26th OF April.
Whether he went home directly or
remained about Washington to see
the sights is matter of conjecture.
At all events he soon went away, and
in 1866 took passage on q vessel
bound for England. After that he led
a wandering life and tor several years
was supposed to be dead, but finally
he was heard from at New South
Wales, and later on at Ceylon, Egypt
and other countries that his fancy led
him to traverse. But as the years
rolled by all trace was finally lost of
him and he was given up and suppos-
ed to have died in some foreign cline.
His sister, Anna III. Page, however,
never lost hope, and felt assured that
he was alive somewhere and would
eventually return. She, however, new
er lived to see it. Four years ago she
died, leaving an estate valued at
about $4,000. In her will she left
$4,000 and her silverware to her
missing brother, Clayton III. Page. pro-
vided he should return to Mount Holly
within twelve years OF the date of her
death. If he failed to do this the
testatrix made provision for the dis
posal of her estate.
The missing man came back on one
OF the ocean steamers, landing at New
York, and after days rest went on
to Mount Holly. He had changed so
much in appearance that few knew
him, but he was recognized by the ex-
ecutor of his sisters estate as soon as
he mentioned his name and received q
cordial greeting. He received visits
from a number OF friends ofhis young
er days, and although he received them
cordially he did not refrain from stat
ing that he preferred to remain incog,
during his stay there, and not renew
many OF his former acquaintance, as
he intended soon to return to Austria
liza, where he has been living for many
years past and has been quite success
full
He will be paid the LEGACY at any
time he may demand it and will then
leave again for Australia.

"My father-where is he?" said
Jeanne to her lover, as they were for
brief moment alone together.
What could Francois say? How
could he tell her OF the tale OF her be-
loved parent who had met his death
the day before by the guillOtine?
"You hesitate, you turn pale! Alas
my father, my poor father! am alone
in the world" said the grief-stricken
girl, bursting into tears.
Not alone, dear Jeanne" murmur'
ed Francois. "You have me. | am
poor and humble, but l will love and
protect you, and try to make you
happy"
At length it became dangerous for
Jeanne to remain longer under the roof
OF the Royal Arms. Claude was ex-
pected there every day, and in spite OF
her disguise would recognize the royal
fugitive. So the kind hearted uncle Of
Francois gave the young couple mon
ey, they were secretly married by a
priest and then fled to Coblentz, where
Jeanne met many of her former friends.
Years passed. The unfortunate
queen had long since met the sad late
predicted by the Count Cagliostro;
and Jeanne de Choisseul, now Madame
Varney, was happy and beloved.
And although her noble friends often
spoke OF the uneaqual match, she
never gave a thought to the difference
in rank between her and her husband,
"Mon Ami, you are almost as
charming as when you became my
bride, now fifteen years ago." said
Francois to Jeanne one day, as she
stood smiling by his side, while at
their feet played two lovely children,
and their eldest, girl Just in her
teens and the image other fair mother
gazed on the blue-eyed lady.
"Have you ever repented marrying
SO much beneath you, ma BELIEF"
asked her husband, as the setting sun
enveloped the group in a midst OF
golden splendor.
"Never, dear Francois. am happy
with you and our children, and the
past seems like a fearful dream"

THE LIGHT OF LOVE.

Fair Is tue flush OF summer dawn,
When the gate OF pearl unCloses,
AS it gimmers along the dewy lawn
And shimmers among the roses,
AS it wakes the little drops OF dew
TO quiverings OF delight,
And threads the aisles OF the eiOrest through
On the trail OF the flying night.
Soft is the gleam OF the summer stars
When the feverish day is over,
When the Jays are ahoat in silver cars
And the dusky moth is a rover,
When over the couch OF the dreaming flow
ers
The mists OF the fountains creep,
And the languid ears Of the drowsy hours
Are woOed by the song OF the deep.
But the dazzling hues OF the morning fall,
And dull are its golden IanCes,
And all the light OF the stars grow pale
In my darling's tender gances:
For the stars may shine with a thousand
dyes,
And a myriad sunbeams fall,
But the light Of love in woman's eyes
Is the purest light OF all.
